The correct answer is: None of the above.
Explanation:
Supercomputers → Extremely powerful machines designed for scientific and engineering computations, not general accounting.
They are rare and expensive, not found at thousands of sites.
They cannot fit on a single silicon chip; modern CPUs are much smaller, but supercomputers use many processors.
They are fast enough for most applications, though some cutting-edge simulations may still push limits.
So, none of the listed options correctly describes supercomputers.
